Help: Preventing Code Reset at Dealership Service
I recently had my GT63 coded to add race mode and drift mode, and to remove the active wing. I'm looking for advice on what to say to the dealership to ensure they don't revert or reset these codes when I bring my car in for service.

If you say anything, you call attention to it. Bring the car in for service to an indie. If it needs warranty work you may be in a pickle, and if the warranty work involves the drive train that might be affected by the changes you have made, rather than a pickle you may be in hot water.

You read my response to you in another thread you started where I cited the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, didn't you?

Hey, yes, I did read your comments about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, and it was very helpful. So far, there haven't been any issues with the custom coding, so I don't see why it would void the warranty. Plus, it can be reverted within minutes if needed. The only problem is that the steering wheel's vertical adjustment is stuck, though I can hear the motor trying to work. This issue has been ongoing for a couple of months before I got the coding. I scheduled a service appointment back in April, but the earliest available slot was on the 11th of June.
